92 (Adverttsement) o. D.J. -or, Old Dr. Johnson made one remark that a Scot can approve W E HAVE no reason to love the mem- ory of Samuel Johnson. Our business is in Scotland, and the great lexicographer saId some things that have rankled in Scot- tish memories for nearly two centuries. In his famous dictionary (the first im- portant one in the English language), he wrote this definition; HO ats : a grain which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the peo- pIe." In conversation with his biographer Boswell (a Scot hImself), Johnson made such remarks as: ((The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees is the high- road which leads him to England." And, Hmuch may be made of a Scotchman if he is caught young." It is therefore a pleasure to recall at least one remark of the great Doctor which we can quote with approval. It de- serves italics: rrThere is nothing which has yet been contrived by man by which so much haPPiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn." Since the old Doctor spent a large part of his life in taverns he spoke as an au- thority. And if he were alive today, he would be delighted to find how far the 'tavern" has progressed. If he were in the men's bar of a good club or hotel in America today, and if he were served a spot of 12 year old Chivas Regal Scotch Whisky, he would almost surely be moved to compose a trIbute to Scotland, in praise of its finest product. The risk in this fantasy is that the bar might be out of Scotland's Prince of Whiskies when Dr. Johnson dropped in. Alas, that happens occasionally. The de- mand for Chivas Regal has grown so great in America that your barman or spirits merchant may sometimes be unable to serve you. The supply of Chivas Regal - a blend of thirty-three of the finest whiskIes of Scotland - is inevitably lim- Ited by nature. Plea e forgive an occa- sional disappointment, and ask again! .

I gave him my address in J ava, to which I would be returning for another month "Bogor?" the room boy interrupted, catching the name of the town "My wife's family come from Sundae Their music is very good." "And their women are the most beautiful in Indonesia," one of the men behind me added. "And their countryside is the loveliest I have ever seen," I contributed. "We also have beautiful rice fields," the policeman said. "Have }TOU seen? No? Y ou will do me the honor, perhaps, to take tea this afternoon with myself and my wIfe-my only wife." We all laughed. "And then we will drive to Sungguminasa. " "Thank you. That is most kind," I said. "Do not miss the palace of the Raja of Goa," said the man who admired DorIs Day. "Or the brick factory on the way," his friend added Nothing more was said about investi- gating the robbery, and we spent most of the rest of the morning chatting about ourselves, about travel, and about the beauties of the island of Sulawesi, which, I was told, to Indonesian eyes is shaped like an orchid.

The policeman's wife, silent and smiling, sat beside me on the back seat of a pony cart whIle the police- man, splendid in a fuchsia sarong, sat next to the driver . To the accompani- ment of the bells that bedecked the pony, we drove through Makassar, past the houses of friends of the policeman, who called out greetings to them, ex- plaining who I was and where we were going. We jingled along between bright-green rice fields, past charming painted wooden houses, each with a frivolously decorated bird cage hanging from its eaves. '/Ve watched a football · game in Sungguminasa and drove by the sprawling wooden palace there, re- turning at last to Makassar just after dar k. The policeman and his wife and I met often in the days that followed- to sip coffee at tiny stalls, to watch some Chinese rehearse a dragon dance in preparation for the coming New Year celebrations, or simply to stand on the sea wall in the flaming evening and stare at the square-sailed boats that came gliding in between the islands of Ma- kassar Bay Nobody mentioned the bur- glary again.
